⚠️ Google is making installing an app from the internet harder on Android.
Official reason: "security." Real reason? Lock-in. 🔒
New requirements extend Google's gatekeeping from the Play Store to every alternative distribution channel.
This isn't about convenience. It's about who decides what runs on a device you own.
💡 The good news: So-called “sideloading” on Murena smartphones and any other devices running /e/OS remains possible.

📱 On /e/OS, alternative app stores like F-Droid just work fine. But this freedom could disappear elsewhere.
Google is planning to restrict app installation outside its Play Store while many phone makers are locking bootloaders, making it harder to even try other options than Big Tech.
Act now! Tell the EU to enforce the Digital Markets Act: "Stop Google from blocking alternative app stores and free software."

“When you take the best parts of Android and work to turn it into software built for users instead of financial gain, the results are amazing. With the release of /e/OS 3, it's reached the point where it's a good choice for everyone."
A big thank you to Jerry Hildenbrand from @npub1fsm…pq7p for covering /e/OS 3.0 release.
